I Jersey Shore, Penna. 17740 Lancaster Farming, Saturday, Sept 14,1974 Study Swine Farming Hog growing has gone commercial. No longer does the margin of profit on swine allow the luxury of a few sows farrowed once a year with pigs raised on home grown feeds and a little protein supplement. According to a Penn sylvania State University correspondence course on commercial swine production and live hog marketing, 60-sow herds (or larger) with year-round farrowing are needed for a substantial income. Year-round farrowing has several advantages. Buildings and equipment are kept in constant use. Full time labor is employed. Marketing is orderly-hogs are sold at regular intervals -and buyers come to rely on a steady supply. The disadvantages? Feeds are needed in large quantity. Diseases come to be constant threats. Buildings with environmental control-heat, ventilating, humidity-are needed. Carry Milk?
